Board to Death?

Board to Death?

Sick of riding the slopes on something that has a flaming skull scribbled on the top? We're finally starting to see snowboard designs that won't embarrass you on the lift. In other words: snowboards for grown men

We don't know when you stopped requiring your designers to be ex-tattoo artists from Vegas and/or stoned cartoonists, but we gotta say: Thank you. For as long as we can remember, we've been forced to ride boards that looked like rejected Affliction T-shirts, replete with skulls and slutty angels arranged in seizure-inducing collages. Yet slowly but surely, we're starting to see designs that we're genuinely eager to rep on the lifts. Daliesque surrealism with sex appeal. Retro-tastic woodwork. Pop art of Audrey Hepburn, a.k.a. Zooey Deschanel version 1.0. We're so unexpectedly pleased by this evolution, we won't even bring up your weird infatuation with parachute pants.
